Hey reader, Welcome to the first article of CodeShuffle Off-code tutorial.
This is going to be about installing Ubuntu Operating system(OS) inside the windows OS. Well some or the other times, a Tech geek will be wanting to use Ubuntu for some work. Most likely, the user will have the Ubuntu 'dual booted' with any other OS in his laptop/Desktop PC. If he is using Ubuntu for only some small purposes like to work with the UNIX terminal or some similar work, dual booting is not a preferred idea for such small applications while one can run Ubuntu inside the windows OS itself. Here's how you can do it.
